Description from the seller

Ancient male torso in green porphyry with a black marble base, crafted in the early 20th century. The piece features a vigorous anatomical rendering, with well-defined musculature and balanced proportions, inspired by classical sculpture models. The choice of green porphyry — a rare, dense, and highly prized material — gives the piece an authoritative character and a captivating chromatic depth.
